On Georges 6hsal, the Gulf Stream was very
strong, and the highest temperature of Il was 70
degrees Fahrenheit This record confirms the
statement Of Captain Frank Stevens, Of the
Havana steamer Manhattan, that on Monday he
found the Gulf Stream OF the Florida coast rum
ming ai the rate of three and oue-half knots per
hour
This unusually strong and rapid movement of
the great ocean current to the northward is sig
nificant in respect to the coming early autumn

well known that unusual movements of the

Few are the DAYS thai now pass without en-
couraging information as to the progFess OF one OF
more of the railroad enterprises In which TaliA-
hassee 10 directly interested. These tend hith-
erwsnd from the north, the northwest. tine
southwest and the southeast, and the projectors
of all of them seem thoroughly in earnest that
their lines shall soon be among tire spokes from
the TallAh.ssee hub-she future great railroad
centre Of Middle Florida The latest definite
intelligence Is to practical operations on the
southwestern spoke, the T.. T. & g., and we
have reliable information that active work will
be commenced in few days at the CarrAbelle
end of this road Mr.. Aaron Levy, the Italia
hAssee merchant, now in New York. writes rs
follows under date of the 18th:
"Iwas down to Thurbers gro
Gerry house to-day. and Mr.. Treadwell, the Flor

yesterday to Mr. Rowland &S.0oo worth OF gro
ceries, to be s1ipped to Carrabelle, Fla. They
were marked T. C. e. G. r. r. Co. Carrabele,
Fla These are supplies to build the Carrabelle
line. He told me the company placed $500 900
of the bonds On the market yesterday. and were
sold at par in New York city. Mr.. lark sailed
for Europe to-day To place the balance Of the
bonds. Mr. Treadwell went To the Office to-day
and got check for yesterdays bill The com
pany have bought ali the mills al Carrabele and
paid for them. Work will begin IN = few days
with 900 hands to start from CArrabelie. All
tell yeu is positively true
On the 18th Mr. Levy writes again
Rowland is still buying piles OF goods for the

The supplies men Toned were to be shipped

Captain Slusser's steamer Walkatomica is admi-
rably adapted.
Writing again on the 10Th Mr.. Levy says
